LSI Logic Megaraid SAS 9261-8I Single

So I'm not a professional, just using this for my home computer. So if you're doing the same this review is for youBut this card is great! It:- Showed up new, with all of the promised parts- Isn't broken- Works with Widows 10I had to go through two other cards before getting one that works correctlyBut onto the card itself. It is a bit of a headache to set up - you've got to change your boot settings and navigate a DOS window. But it's all pretty easy to follow if you look up instructions. I've only been using it for a day now, but the read and write speeds it provides are great! Far better than the motherboard-backed RAID I was using previouslyWould 100% recommend - both in general and over the other options available on Amazon

Quite happy with this so far. It was plug and play on my ASUS Gryphon 97 MOBO / Centos 7 system and 2 6tb wd red drives. I had been thinking about buying a NAS but didn't really want to spend the money on a special purpose machine. This lets me use a general purpose machine that is more adaptable to the needs of the moment. It's likely I'm going to add more drives for media in the future.I think this was a great deal although only time will tell for sure.

Took a bit to get it working but now it works well.

Great controller, using it to RAID1 2 SSDs and 2 rotating drives. Great throughput on the rotating drives (though obviously lower than the SSDs).

Made all the difference in my entertainment system PC.
